AMETEK Land has helped a major metals industry plant designer to enhance safety, control, and efficiency in steel plants.
Based in Buttrio, Italy, Danieli & C. Officine Meccaniche S.p.A. (Danieli) is a global manufacturer in the production of steel plants.
Danieli partnered with AMETEK Land to create the Danieli Automatic Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Tapping System, which significantly improves safety and control during the tapping process.
The system uses two of AMETEK Land’s renowned thermal imaging systems: the Slag Detection System (SDS-E), branded as Danieli’s Q-Slag, and the near-infrared (NIR) fixed thermal imager that is an integral part of the Ladle Level Detection (LLD) system.
The resulting system has successfully addressed critical challenges in steel production by enhancing safety, process control, and efficiency through innovative automated tapping systems.
